In Maths, we have been learning how to calculate the area of composite shapes using the formula A= L X B. We have learnt how to split composite shapes into smaller shapes, calculating their areas before adding them together to find a total area. Today we did some practical measuring outdoors. We were asked to imagine that Mr. McVeigh had been asked to get some quotes for re-surfacing the top and bottom school yards. He needs to calculate the composite area of both yards. Using trundle wheels, we worked in small groups to measure the length and breadth of the two yards. We enjoyed measuring with the trundle wheels and recorded our measurements carefully. Back in the classroom we were able to use our measurements to calculate the composite area of the two yards. Gwaith mesur ardderchog! Excellent measuring work!
